This message is being sent to you by the Regent Square Civic Association, a not-for-profit 501(c)(4), all-volunteer community organization serving Regent Square's diverse residential and business community.

Dear Neighbor:

The Regent Square Civic Association (RSCA) and its Parkway Access Committee (PAC) continues to be concerned about PennDOTís proposed plan for the Parkway East and the impact that it will have on eastern neighborhoods.

On October 25th the Committee invited local government officials and representatives from nearby community groups to attend a presentation by PennDOTís Dan Cessna at the UCP/CLASS Center. Attendees shared their great concern about the proposed ramp metering and/or closures and expressed their interest in alternative solutions that would be better for our residential and business communities. A summary of the meeting will be available on our website within the next few days and we invite you to peruse it at your convenience.

At the present time, we are gathering a list of questions, concerns, and suggestions for the proposed plan. Representatives from our group will then meet with Mr. Cessna later in the month to clarify and discuss the list of items.

The Committee would greatly appreciate the input of Regent Square residents and businesses. Towards that end, please forward your items for inclusion to us no later than November 15th.

We will also ask for another meeting to be scheduled early in the new year since we all feel that waiting until Spring of 2013, as PennDOT suggested, is simply unacceptable. We will keep you informed of any further developments. If you would like to volunteer for any possible initiatives towards this effort, please email us at contact@regentsquare-RSCA.org.

We look forward to continuing our dialogue with PennDOT and working together to insure that our voices are heard. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or comments you may have.
